Where do you submit info? Not seen it on any links?
Be sure to head to the link above in the box for submitting a claim, then click on “submit a claim” at the top, last – scroll down and click through “Start your claim”. Hope this helps!
My state isn’t listed. :/
Also if you are submitting just for yourself don’t fill out the 2nd section box as it will tell you to provide documentation that you have the legal right to submit on the behalf of the claiment. I had to start over and when I filed out only the top half it skipped the part about the requirement for the legal documentation.
Thanks so much for the helpful comment, Nancy!
